TERRA NITROGEN COMPANY, L.P.



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



|1. | Basis of Presentation
|-- | ---------------------



The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto contained in the Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. TNCLP and its operating partnership subsidiary, Terra Nitrogen, Limited Partnership (the Operating
Partnership), are referred to herein, collectively, as the Partnership.



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All
of these adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results of the Partnership.



|2. | Agreement of Limited Partnership
|-- | --------------------------------



The Partnership makes quarterly cash distributions to Unitholders and the General Partner in an amount equal to 100% of its Available Cash (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement).



At June 30, 2005, the
General Partner and its affiliates owned 75.1% of the Partnerships outstanding units. When less than 25% of the issued and outstanding units are held by non-affiliates of the General Partner, the Partnership, at the General Partners sole
discretion, may call, or assign to the General Partner or its affiliates, its right to acquire all such outstanding units held by non-affiliated persons. If the General Partner elects to acquire all outstanding units, the Partnership is required to
give at least 30 but not more than 60 days notice of its decision to purchase the outstanding units. The purchase price per unit will be the greater of 1) the average of the previous 20 trading days closing prices as of the date five
days before the purchase is announced and 2) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its affiliates for any unit within the 90 days preceding the date the purchase is announced. Additional purchases of common units by the General
Partner may be restricted under the terms of Terra Industries Inc.s (Terra) bank credit agreement as described therein.



|3. | Derivative Financial Instruments
|-- | --------------------------------



Natural gas is the principal raw material used in the Partnerships production of nitrogen products. Natural gas prices are volatile and the
Partnership manages this volatility through the use of derivative commodity instruments based on a pooled resources concept with Terra. Terras policy is to hedge 20-80% of its natural gas requirements for the upcoming 12 months and up to 50%
of the requirements for the following 24-month period, provided that such arrangements would not result in costs greater than expected selling prices for its finished products. Deviations from this policy are permitted by notification of
Terras Board of Directors. The financial derivatives are traded in



6



---

months forward and settlement dates are scheduled to coincide with gas purchases during those future
periods. These contracts reference physical natural gas prices or approximate NYMEX futures contract prices. Changes in the market value of these derivative instruments have a high correlation to changes in the spot price of natural gas. Contract
prices are frequently based on prices at the most common and financially liquid location of reference for financial derivatives related to natural gas. However, natural gas supplies for the Partnerships facilities are purchased for each plant
at locations other than reference points, which often creates a location basis differential between the contract price and the physical price of natural gas. Accordingly, use of financial derivatives may not exactly offset the change in the price of
physical gas.



The Partnership has entered into forward
pricing positions for a portion of its natural gas requirements for the remainder of 2005, consistent with its policy. As a result of its policies, the Partnership has reduced the potential adverse financial impact of natural gas increases during
the forward pricing period, but conversely, if natural gas prices were to fall, the Partnership will incur higher costs. Contracts were in place at June 30, 2005 to cover approximately 20% of estimated natural gas requirements for the succeeding
twelve months.



Unrealized gains from forward pricing
positions totaled $2.6 million as of June 30, 2005. The amount ultimately recognized by the Partnership will be dependent on published prices in effect at the time of settlement. The Partnership also had $0.8 million of realized gains on closed
contracts relating to future periods that have been deferred to the respective period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Introduction



The Partnership produces and markets nitrogen products for use in agricultural and industrial markets. Nitrogen is a commodity chemical and
prices are established based on global supply and demand conditions. The nitrogen products industry has cycles of oversupply, resulting in lower prices and idled capacity, followed by supply shortages, resulting in high selling prices and higher
industry-wide production rates. To be viable under these market conditions, a producer must be among the low-cost producers to markets it serves and have a financial position that can sustain it during periods of oversupply.



Natural gas is the most significant raw material in the production of nitrogen products.
North American natural gas costs have increased substantially since 1999. Since the Partnership competes with nitrogen products imported from regions with lower natural gas costs, the oversupply situation during most of the three years ending
December 31, 2002 did not permit the Partnership to increase selling prices to levels necessary to cover the natural gas cost increases. This resulted in curtailments of North American nitrogen production. These curtailments contributed to
reductions in global nitrogen product supplies.



Imports, most of which are
produced at facilities with access to fixed-price natural gas supplies, account for a significant portion of U.S. nitrogen product supply. Imported products natural gas costs have been and could continue to be substantially lower than the
delivered cost of natural gas to our facilities. Offshore producers are most competitive in regions close to the point of entry for imports, including the Gulf Coast and East Coast.



Our sales volumes are primarily dependent upon the operating rates for our plants. The Partnership may purchase product from other
manufacturers or importers for resale, however, gross margins on those volumes are rarely significant. Profitability and cash flows from the operations are affected by the ability to manage costs and expenses (other than natural gas), most of which
do not materially change for different levels of production or sales. Other factors affecting operating results include the level of planted acres, transportation costs, weather conditions (particularly during the planting season), grain prices and
other variables described in Items 1 and 2 in the Business and Properties section of the Partnerships most recent Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



Dependence on Terra Industries



The Partnership is dependent on Terra Industries Inc. (Terra) in a number of
respects. Terra provides all of the Partnerships management, selling and administrative services and operates its facilities through its wholly-owned subsidiary TNC, the Partnerships general partner. Terra and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, including TNC, have more debt and debt service requirements than the Partnership. Although Terra is affected by most of the factors that affect the Partnership, its higher level of debt could put a greater risk on Terra in the event of
adverse business conditions. The Partnerships results of operations and financial condition might be materially adversely affected by financial difficulties at

|- | -----------------------------------------



Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 declined $8.9 million, or 7%, compared with the same 2004 quarter primarily due to the Blytheville production facilitys
permanent closure in May 2004. The resulting decline in urea volumes was partially offset by higher ammonia and UAN prices as the result of higher demand and lower nitrogen supplies caused by industry-wide production curtailments since mid-2003.
Price increases also reflected higher imported product costs as the result of U.S. currency declines relative to other currencies and increased international freight rates.



Gross profits for the second quarter were $ 31.2 million and increased $14.1 million from 2004. Higher 2005 unit prices contributed about
$24.6 million to gross profits, but were offset by higher natural gas costs. Second quarter natural gas costs increased 14%, from $5.45/MMBtu in 2004 to $6.19/MMBtu in 2005 (net of forward pricing gains or losses.) As a result of forward price
contracts, second quarter 2005 natural gas costs for the Partnership were $1.2 million lower than spot prices.



Operating expenses of $1.9 million in 2005 declined $0.8 million, or 29%, from 2004 as the result of lower management, selling and administrative expense allocations from
Terra to the Partnership reflecting recent acquisitions that expanded Terras base of operations over which its expenses are allocated. Net interest income in 2005 approximated prior year levels.

|* | After deducting outbound freight costs
|- | --------------------------------------



Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 declined $11.2 million, or 5%, compared with the same period in 2004 primarily due to the Blytheville production
facilitys permanent closure in May 2004. The resulting decline in urea volumes was partially offset by higher ammonia and UAN prices as the result of higher demand and lower nitrogen supplies caused by industry-wide production curtailments
since mid-2003. Price increases also reflected higher imported product costs as the result of U.S. currency declines relative to other currencies and increased international freight rates..



Gross profits during the 2005 first six months increased $19.5 million from 2004. Higher
selling prices contributed $37.9 million to the increase in 2005 gross profits, but were offset by increased natural gas costs. Six month natural gas costs increased 21%, from $5.30/MMBtu in 2004 to $6.39/MMBtu in 2005 (net of forward pricing gains
or losses.) As a result of forward price contracts, second quarter 2005 natural gas costs for the Partnership were $2.5 million higher than spot prices.



Operating expenses of $4.2 million in 2005 declined $0.7 million, or 14%, from 2004 as the result of lower management, selling and administrative expense allocations from
Terra to the Partnership reflecting recent acquisitions that expanded Terras base of operations over which its expenses are allocated. Net interest income in 2005 approximated prior year levels.



Capital resources and liquidity



Operating activities for the first half of 2005 used $10.6 million of cash, principally to
fund shipments against customer prepayments that had been received prior to the beginning of the year.



Capital expenditures of $2.5 million during the first half of 2005 were primarily to fund replacement and stay-in-business additions to plant and equipment. The Partnership expects 2005 capital expenditures to
approximate $8.0 million for replacement and stay-in-business additions to plant and equipment.



The Partnerships principal funding needs are to support its working capital and capital expenditures. The Partnership intends to fund its needs primarily from cash provided by operating activities and, to the
extent required, from funds borrowed under the Partnerships $50 million revolving bank credit facility.



10



---

Under the credit facility, the Partnership may borrow an amount generally based on eligible cash balances, 85% of
eligible accounts receivable and 60% of eligible finished goods inventory, less outstanding letters of credit. The Partnerships borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of its working capital. At June 30, 2005,
borrowing availability exceeded $50 million and the Partnership had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit under the facility. Management expects the facility to be adequate to meet the Partnerships operating cash needs.



Under the credit facility, the Partnership is subject to covenants which impose certain
limitations on additional debt, capital expenditures, acquisitions, liens, asset sales, investments, prepayments of subordinated indebtedness, changes in lines of business and transactions with affiliates. In addition, if Partnerships
aggregate borrowing availability falls below $10 million, it is required to have generated $25 million of operating cash flows or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items (as defined in the credit
facility) for the preceding four quarters.



The Partnerships ability to
continue to meet the covenants under the credit facility in the future will depend on market conditions, operating cash flows, working capital needs, receipt of customer prepayments and trade credit terms. Failure to meet these covenants, or to
obtain a waiver from the lenders, would result in a default by the Partnership such that all amounts outstanding could become immediately due and payable and the Partnership would be unable to borrow additional amounts under the credit facility.
Because access to adequate bank facilities may be critical to funding the Partnerships operating cash needs and the General Partners purchase of financial derivatives to manage the Partnerships exposure to natural gas commodity
price risk, any default or termination of the joint revolving bank credit facility could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership.



Quarterly distributions to TNCLPs partners are based on Available Cash for the quarter as defined in the TNCLP Agreement of Limited Partnership. Available Cash is
defined generally as all cash receipts less all cash disbursements, adjusted for changes in certain reserves established as the General Partner determines in its reasonable discretion to be necessary. Distributions paid to the partners in the first
half of 2005 and 2004 were $22.6 and $9.4 million, respectively.



Distributions
of Available Cash are made 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partner, except that the General Partner is entitled, as an incentive, to larger percentage interests to the extent that distributions of Available Cash exceed specified
levels.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



The Partnerships operations are significantly affected by the price of natural gas. It
employs derivative commodity instruments related to a portion of its natural gas requirements (primarily futures, swaps and options) for the purpose of managing exposure to commodity price risk in the purchase of natural gas. Changes in the market
value of these derivative instruments have a high correlation to changes in the spot price of natural gas. For more information about how the Partnership manages specific risk exposures, refer to its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (which is
on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission), Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and Note 13  Derivative Financial Instruments contained in Item 8.



The volume of natural gas hedged varies from time to time based on managements judgment
of market conditions, particularly natural gas prices and prices for nitrogen products. Contracts were in place at June 30, 2005 to cover approximately 20% of its natural gas requirements for the succeeding twelve months (see Note 3). The General
Partners ability to manage the Partnerships exposure to commodity price risk in the purchase of natural gas through the use of financial derivatives may be affected by limitations imposed by its bank agreement covenants.



ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their
evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of

reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



FORWARD LOOKING PRECAUTIONS

factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to the following: Changes in the financial markets, general economic conditions within the agricultural industry, competitive factors and price changes
(principally, sales prices of nitrogen products and natural gas costs), changes in product mix, changes in the seasonality of demand patterns, changes in weather conditions, changes in agricultural regulations, and other risks detailed in the
Partnerships Securities and Exchange Commission filings, in particular the Factors that Affect Operating Results section of its most recent Form 10-K.

these claims is remote.
